Take Home Lab: Gas Laws
Purpose: To determine the atmospheric pressure at a location that has a different altitude than
Woodland Park.
Materials: A balloon, a tape measure, and a string
Procedure:
1. Blow up a balloon either at a lower altitude (Colorado Springs) or a higher altitude
(Woodand Park), and take the balloon to the other location. You could also fill the
balloon up in Woodland Park and then go skiing and measure the diameter of the balloon
at the top of Hosier Pass.
2. Measure the circumference of the balloon in the first location. This is probably best done
with a string.
3. Drive to location 2 and measure the circumference of the balloon.
Calculations:
1. In the interest of making the calculations simple, we will assume that the balloon is a
sphere.
2. Using the equation C=2πr, determine the radius of the balloon in both locations.
3. Using the equation V=4/3πr3, determine the volume of the balloon in both locations.
4. Assuming that the pressure in Woodland Park is 571 torr, determine, using Boyles Law,
the pressure in location 2.
5. Use the table on the next page to determine your percent error. You may need to use a
program like google earth to determine the altitude for your two samples. The graph
below only shows form about 6500 feet up to 15,000 feet. The pressure unit is in
millibars: 1mb = 0.75 torr

Questions
1. Discuss, using the kinetic molecular theory, why the balloon shrunk or grew at different
altitudes. Use a picture in your explanation.
2. What would happen if you took your balloon to the top of Mt. Everest (average pressure
= 253torr), the tallest point on the earth?
3. Explain why air pressure goes down the higher you are in altitude.
For Credit: You must have a signed note from your parent/guardian explaining two things:
1. Why does air pressure go down as you go up in altitude
2. Why does a bag of potato chips purchased in Colorado Springs expand (and
sometimes, blow up) when brought to Woodland Park?

Boyle’s Law: Pressure-Volume
Relationship in Gases
The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the pressure
and volume of a confined gas. The gas we use will be air, and it will be confined in a syringe
connected to a Gas Pressure Sensor (see Figure 1). When the volume of the syringe is changed
by moving the piston, a change occurs in the pressure exerted by the confined gas. This pressure
change will be monitored using a Gas Pressure Sensor. It is assumed that temperature will be
constant throughout the experiment. Pressure and volume data pairs will be collected during this
experiment and then analyzed. From the data and graph, you should be able to determine what
kind of mathematical relationship exists between the pressure and volume of the confined gas.
Historically, this relationship was first established by Robert Boyle in 1662 and has since been
known as Boyle’s law.
OBJECTIVES
In this experiment, you will

Use a Gas Pressure Sensor and a gas syringe to measure the pressure of an air sample at
several different volumes.
 Determine the relationship between pressure and volume of the gas.
 Describe the relationship between gas pressure and volume in a mathematical equation.
 Use the results to predict the pressure at other volumes.

LabQuest App
Vernier Gas Pressure Sensor
20 mL gas syringe
PROCEDURE
1. Prepare the Gas Pressure Sensor and an air sample for data collection.
a. Connect the Gas Pressure Sensor to LabQuest and choose New from the File menu. If you
have an older sensor that does not auto-ID, manually set up the sensor.
b. With the 20 mL syringe disconnected from the Gas Pressure Sensor, move the piston of
the syringe until the front edge of the inside black ring (indicated by the arrow in Figure 1)
is positioned at the 10.0 mL mark.
c. Attach the 20 mL syringe to the valve of the Gas Pressure Sensor.
2. Set up the data-collection mode.
a. On the Meter screen, tap Mode. Change the mode to Events with Entry.
b. Enter the Name (Volume) and Units (mL). Select OK.

Name ________________
3. To obtain the best data possible, you will need to correct the volume readings from the
syringe. Look at the syringe; its scale reports its own internal volume. However, that volume
is not the total volume of trapped air in your system since there is a little bit of space inside
the pressure sensor.
To account for the extra volume in the system, you will need to add 0.8 mL to your syringe
readings. For example, with a 5.0 mL syringe volume, the total volume would be 5.8 mL. It
is this total volume that you will need for the analysis.
4. You are now ready to collect pressure and volume data. It is easiest if one person takes care
of the gas syringe and another enters volumes.
a. Start data collection.
b. Move the piston so the front edge of the inside black ring (see Figure 2) is positioned at
the 5.0 mL line on the syringe. Hold the piston firmly in this position until the pressure
value displayed on the screen stabilizes.
c. Tap Keep and enter 5.8, the gas volume (in mL) on the screen. Remember, you are adding
0.8 mL to the volume of the syringe for the total volume. Select OK to store this pressurevolume data pair.
Figure 2
d. Continue this procedure using syringe volumes of 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, and 20.0 mL.
e. Stop data collection.
5. When data collection is complete, a graph of pressure vs. volume will be displayed. To
examine the data pairs on the displayed graph, tap any data point. As you tap each data point,
the pressure and volume values are displayed to the right of the graph. Record the pressure
and volume data values in your data table.
6. Based on the graph of pressure vs. volume, decide what kind of mathematical relationship
exists between these two variables, direct or inverse. To see if you made the right choice:
a. Choose Curve Fit from the Analyze menu.
b. Select Power as the Fit Equation. The curve fit statistics for these two data columns are
displayed for the equation in the form
y = Ax^B
where x is volume, y is pressure, A is a proportionality constant, and B is the exponent of x
(volume) in this equation. Note: The relationship between pressure and volume can be
determined from the value and sign of the exponent, B.
c. If you have correctly determined the mathematical relationship, the regression line should
very nearly fit the points on the graph (that is, pass through or near the plotted points).
d. Select OK.
7. (optional) If directed by your instructor, proceed directly to the Extension that follows
Processing the Data.

Pressure
(kPa)
Constant, k
(P / V or P • V)
PROCESSING THE DATA
1. If the volume is doubled from 5.0 mL to 10.0 mL, what does your data show happens to the
pressure? Show the pressure values in your answer.
2. If the volume is halved from 20.0 mL to 10.0 mL, what does your data show happens to the
pressure? Show the pressure values in your answer.
3. If the volume is tripled from 5.0 mL to 15.0 mL, what does your data show happened to the
pressure? Show the pressure values in your answer.
4. From your answers to the first three questions and the shape of the curve in the plot of
pressure versus volume, do you think the relationship between the pressure and volume of a
confined gas is direct or inverse? Explain your answer.
5. Based on your data, what would you expect the pressure to be if the volume of the syringe
was increased to 40.0 mL. Explain or show work to support your answer.
6. Based on your data, what would you expect the pressure to be if the volume of the syringe
was decreased to 2.5 mL.
7. What experimental factors are assumed to be constant in this experiment?
8. One way to determine if a relationship is inverse or direct is to find a proportionality
constant, k, from the data. If this relationship is direct, k = P/V. If it is inverse, k = P•V. Based
on your answer to Question 4, choose one of these formulas and calculate k for the seven
ordered pairs in your data table (divide or multiply the P and V values). Show the answers in
the third column of the Data and Calculations table.
9. How constant were the values for k you obtained in Question 8? Good data may show some
minor variation, but the values for k should be relatively constant.
10. Using P, V, and k, write an equation representing Boyle’s law. Write a verbal statement that
correctly expresses Boyle’s law.
EXTENSION
1. To confirm that an inverse relationship exists between pressure and volume, a graph of
pressure vs. reciprocal of volume (1/volume) may also be plotted. To do this using LabQuest:
a. Tap the Table tab to display the data table.
-8-
Name ________________
b. Choose New Calculated Column from the Table menu.
c. Enter the Name (1/Volume) and Units (1/mL). Select the equation, A/X. Use Volume as
the Column for X, and 1 as the value for A.
d. Select OK.
2. Follow this procedure to calculate regression statistics and to plot a best-fit regression line on
your graph of pressure vs. 1/volume:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Choose Graph Options from the Graph menu.
Select Autoscale from 0 and select OK.
Choose Curve Fit from the Analyze menu.
Select Linear as the Fit Equation. The linear-regression statistics for these two data
columns are displayed in the form:
y = mx + b
where x is 1/volume, y is pressure, m is a proportionality constant, and b is the y-intercept.
e. Select OK. If the relationship between P and V is an inverse relationship, the graph of
pressure vs. 1/volume should be direct; that is, the curve should be linear and pass through
(or near) the origin. Examine your graph to see if this is true for your data.

Stoichiometry and Gas Law Lab
Purpose: To determine the volume of H2 that will be liberated when a sample of
magnesium is completely reacted with excess hydrochloric acid (HCl). This is a single
replacement reaction.
Material: Magnesium ribbon--untarnished, thread, hydrochloric acid--concentrated.
Procedure:
Fill a plastic tub with water. Roll a
length of magnesium ribbon of
known mass into a loose coil. Tie it
with one end of a piece of thread,
approx 25 cm. in length, in such
manner that all the loops of
coil are tied together. Obtain 5ml. of
concentrated hydrochloric acid
(DANGER) from your instructor in
the eudiometer. Slowly fill it
completely with water, being careful
not to mix the water and the acid.
Lower the magnesium coil into the
water in the gas measuring tube to a
depth of about 5 cm. Close the tube
with your thumb so that the thread is
held firmly against the edge of the
tube. Taking care that no air enters,
invert the eudiometer in the tub and
allow it to rest against the bottom to
hold the thread. It may be clamped
in this position on the ring stand, as
shown.
When the magnesium has completely
reacted (no more metal present and
the bubbles have stopped), go to the
big bucket of water and insert your
tube in the water. Adjust the tube
until the liquid levels inside and
outside are the same. Read the
volume of hydrogen gas liberated as
precisely as possible. Take the temperature of the water in the tub and assume this to be
temperature of the hydrogen gas collected. Record the barometric pressure from the
board.
